Cancer Prevention - A mistake in the lifeline rectified (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648928508)

By Dr. Sasi Shanmugam Senga

Cancer is not always a matter of bad luck.

For decades, cancer has been treated as an unavoidable tragedy, something that strikes at random, beyond control. But modern science tells a more uncomfortable truth: many cancers are shaped quietly over time, by choices mistaken for habits and risks mistaken for fate.

In Cancer Prevention: A Mistake in the Lifeline-Rectified, neurosurgeon and cancer researcher Dr. Sasi Shanmugam Senga challenges the way we think about cancer, before it begins.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, clinical experience, and deeply human stories from hospital wards, lecture halls, and personal loss, this book reveals how cancer develops long before diagnosis, and how much of that trajectory can be altered.

This is not a book about fear.
It is a book about agency.

Inside, you will discover:

• Why cancer is rarely the final killer, and why metastasis is

• How lifestyle, diet, sleep, stress, and circadian rhythm shape cancer risk at the cellular level

• The hidden role of the microbiome in cancer prevention

• Why alcohol, tobacco, and even "moderate" exposure carry cumulative risk

• How screening and vaccination save lives long before symptoms appear

• What "precision prevention" means for breast, colorectal, cervical, melanoma, liver, and prostate cancers

• Why peace of mind is not sentimental-but biologically protective

Blending rigorous science with narrative clarity, Cancer Prevention translates complex biology into insight readers can act on, without guilt, extremism, or false promises.

Dr. Senga does not claim cancer is entirely preventable.
He does claim that ignorance is costly, and knowledge is protective.

This book is for:

• Readers who want evidence, not slogans

• Patients and families seeking clarity, not platitudes

• Clinicians who believe prevention deserves as much respect as treatment

• Anyone who believes life's brevity makes it worth protecting

Cancer does not begin with pain.
It begins with time.

This book shows you how to take it back.
